At least two fires are believed to have started by lightning strikes in Pasco County.

Fire mitigation specialists with the Florida Fire Service say a lightning strike can spark a fire within one hour or it can smolder below the surface for up to four days before turning into a wildfire. The National Weather Service is updating fire officials every hour on wind conditions, humidity and when smoke is expected to disappear.

"I had a lot of prayer warriors and they were praying for me and my family," said Shields.

In her backyard alone, a massive shed that used to house a family business was charred to its core. The fire also destroyed a friend's boat, an old pickup truck and two semi-trailers in that were gutted.

Shields is just thankful her home and everything inside was spared.

"Honestly, I asked God to take over and I asked him to watch over and that's exactly what he did," said Shields.
